Today (Feb 3) at 9:30am US Eastern, the Internet Society, ICANN and IANA will be making an announcement about the end of IPv4 address allocations (which I wrote an explanation about on Tuesday).

They are streaming the event live at this address:

The announcement states:

On Thursday, 3 February 2011, at 9:30 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST), the Number Resource Organization (NRO), along with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the Internet Society (ISOC) and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) will be holding a ceremony and press conference to make a significant announcement and to discuss the global transition to the next generation of Internet addresses.

Sadly, I am in Miami, but across the bridge from where this press conference is happening over in South Beach for ITEXPO. I’ll be speaking at the time of the event, so I personally won’t get to listen… but I’m looking forward to hearing what is said. I wrote about this issue earlier and this morning posted a video on this topic:
